From French Polynesia to Seychelles
When travelling from French Polynesia to Seychelles: None of your French Polynesia plug types fit in Seychelles. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (230V → 240V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 240V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.
